Part N°43

Your item 22 appears to be a piece of the serial number plate from an electrical generator.

It probably reads:

… S OF LEAD [CONNECTIONS] ??
ROTATION OF GENERATOR
CLOCKWISE ANTI CLOCKWISE
RED RED
BLUE GREEN
GREEN BLUE

Somebody with more knowledge than me may be able to confirm whether it is for the power for the radio or something else.

Item 33 is armor plate from the engine cowl

Item 13 is a sprocket from the engine controls. There are a number of these with a reference suffix 2196. You can see one in Fig.142 in the ED908 photo-gallery of part illustrations.

I think item 27, which shows the number 24G…., may be part of the tailplane assembly. Again, I cannot identify the exact number in my Parts List, but there are a number with the letter G which relate to the tail fin/rudder/elevator.

Item 41 looks like a brake shoe – an indication of size would be of great help.

Air Ministry, glad to see your version of the Parts List has produced the answer.

Johan,
Air Ministry’s version of the Parts List relates, I think, to the Mk.III, Lancaster (the same as ED908), whereas my list relates to the Canadian Mk.X. Many parts are common, but others were replaced post-war by the Canadians in the few Lancasters that were then still flying, and so end up with different reference numbers.

Part No. 11 2/SS.3194 is listed in the Schedule of Spare Parts as:

Bracket, attachment spar, on Rib No. 14, Centre Portion, Port, on the Outer Wing.

You’ll sleep better tonight for knowing that! 🙂
